Adding a bogus DNS entry

[AlienEmpire]

When my users go to login.internetsite.com I want my DNS server to send them to a different IP.

In other words when they try to access one Internet site I want them to be sent to a different Internet site using our internal DNS.

How can this be done?
Thanks

Add an A Host record pointing that site to the IP you want it to go to...

create a new forward lookup zone (standard Primary)called "internetsite.com" on your name server. Once in place, add an A record called "login" with the IP address of whereever you want to go.

Adding the new forward lookup zone works. But it denies me access to the entire domain.
If I create a new zone called intersite.com and add a host called login. Then login.intersite.com will be redirected properly. But if I try to go to groups.internetsite.com I can't. When I ping the name I get unknown host. Is there a way to change it for only login.internetsite.com without affecting the entire domain?

you can add "groups" in there as well. Just give it the actual IP address instead of a redirected one...and yes, you'd need to do this for each sub-site within that domain.

Create an alias rather than a host name. As long as you're not trying to share files and only using it for the browser, the alias will work great
